Since this doesn't have a washable pillow case, how do you clean it when it gets dark with body oil?

It does have a pillow case, but I didn't think it looked very durable, so I use a bath towel over it. (we have cats and I was afraid that they would claw up the pillow case and it would disintegrate when washed. I was unwilling to test it, so I went the conservative route of extra protection).

It does come with a removable pillow case but I bought extras (also here at Amazon).

Putting a fitted twin size sheet around it (to act as a pillow case) -- BEFORE -- it got grimey worked well.

Haven't had that problem. I wrap a clean towel around the wedge, which does have a removable cover. I've seen washable covers available on Amazon. Good luck!

I have a couple of pillowcases for it that I can wash-one I ordered on Amazon and one I hand-stitched from an old pillowcase. Choose your own color.

I wash mine with Dawn and a bottle sponge if I haven't already rinsed it out. Best case is rinse it out with hot water and Dawn and let it dry upside down :-)

I'm not sure that you are supposed to wash the pillow. I have been unzipping the cover and washing that as well as an additional pillow case that I've been using. My husband did just wash it two days ago by accident and it seems a little lumpy and smaller. I'm hoping it goes back to normal after my son sleeps on in for a few more days.

Just put a little olive oil on it and let it sit; never use soap on it just warm water to clean it

I had the same problem earlier on, so I contacted the manufacturer and thought that i would be returning this. I got a prompt response. Basically it happens when oil builds up on the bottom (too much oil used or some of my oil seem to cause a problem more than others). They just told me to clean it well and dry overnight, which I did and it worked like a charm. Now I just rinse it with hot water before use and once a while put a tiny drop of Dawn in it and clean/dry with q-tip. I've had it for several months now and hadn't had any problems. It's in my kiddos' room and we use it nightly, they won't go to sleep without it. I do use it in the living room here and there too, as needed. Hope this helps :)

Per your question, unfortunately the pillow does not come with a washable cover and must be spot cleaned (I will be using that upholstery cleaner that comes with a little plastic scrubber on the lid--it's gr8). This is just a simple inexpensive little neck pillow that works for me.

I would use an old pillow case... You just turn it inside out to start and then go one blade at a time, sliding the dust off, into the pillow case. You can shake it out and launder it after. Hope this helps! Smile.

Not sure what bad smell others are talking about, I have not had that experience. Both my pillows are fine, and have no smell, however, when I want an oder out of something I put it in a garbage bag with a bunch of baking soda poured in it and leave it for 3 days, then check it. If I wash something I use vinegar to take smells out. And, yes I've washed down before, the trick is getting it dry. I hang it on the line all day, and it must be a fairly hot day or it won't dry.

It has a simple cotton cover with a zipper to remove for cleaning. I would use an old pillow case. Makes life more simple when it comes to keeping it clean.

I've never tried washing it, myself. I just put the "My Brest Friend Professional Slipcover" (vinyl) on the pillow, then the fabric slipcover over that. When there were leaks/spills, I could just wipe clean the vinyl slipcover (when necessary, it's also machine washable), and washed the fabric slipcover. I thought the extra expense was so worth it to keep the foam clean!

Van, I haven't washed my fabulous pillow yet. I use a pillow cover to protect my pillows a little longer. I know the MyPillow website has a "How do I wash MyPillow" in their FAQ. There's top and front load machine instructions, plus dry instructions as well. I hope this helps.

It gets pretty greasy, so I put it in a bowl with hot water (not extremely hot) and dish soap. Soak it for a few hours and just scrub it on itself with your hands. Rinse very well and lay out to dry on the counter. Wash after a few uses.

You can wash it in the machine. Not sure if you can dry the pillow in the dryer. Love the pillow.

Try a pre-wash spray of white vinegar on the spot, then a gentle cycle wash. I've washed dust and bird **** off mine that way.

Just take the hulls out of the pillow and store them safely. Wash the cover. This is under the directions #3.

Sorry for the delayed response. This pillow is machine wash and dry, though I haven't done if yet. I just keep it in a waterproof case.
